Hi all, interested in your thoughts here. Recently signed up for Proton Unlimited via Black Friday sale mainly for email/VPN/drive. For passwords I’ve been happy with Bitwarden and DDG for email forwarding (plus you get a duck.com address which is just fun).
If you were me would you move over to ProtonPass to streamline, or keep these things broken up? On one hand I don’t want all my eggs in one basket, on the other hand I feel like it means I am trusting my info to one Swiss-based org vs Proton + DDG/Bitwarden which are US based. Plus if I am paying for a service I feel a little less like the product in the long term.
Feel pretty ok with both options as my main objective is de-Googling, but interested to hear what has worked well for others. Appreciate any input!
Proton with a domain you control and use their Simplelogin which you can self host down the line should there be a rug-pull event. I think you need to manually export this so make it a habit as you add them!
You can put your eggs in one basket, just make sure you have a plan B if the basket catches on fire, using their domain in my eyes you’re going down with the ship, if you control it you’re just repointing records to a new host and getting simplelogin going.
This is part of the reason I like to keep ALL of my emails on disk still as well, if you can’t decrypt your mailbox for some reason they’re about as good as gone.
While I also use a custom domain with simple login, I feel like it does take away from the anonymity a bit. So sometimes I use my custom domain, others I use theirs.
